Description
Book SynopsisWhether you are a casual explorer or a serious history buff, this glimpse into America's architectural past with hands on GPS site coordinates and detailed architectural plans provides a vivid picture of America's lighthouses. Along with over 90 black and white photos of lighthouses across America, this book includes over 50 detailed architectural plans that feature the internal and external structure of the lighthouses. Readers will find unique lighthouse structures, such as the Port Mahon Lighthouse, which hovers over the water on pilings and the Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, which contains architectural details similar to those found on the White House. Colour photos, GPS coordinates and a brief history of many of the locations are also included, courtesy of a website maintained by Ohio resident, Mike MacCarter.
